Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo today reported financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. After reporting a net loss in its previous fiscal year, Nintendo was able to return to profitability in both Net and Ordinary Income for the full year, although Operating Income remained negative.
Based on the strong lineup of upcoming software titles for both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems, Nintendo expects to return to Operating Income profitability by the end of the current fiscal year. During the next several months, Nintendo expects to launch new titles in the Mario Kart (Wii U), Super Mario Bros. (Wii U), Wii Fit (Wii U),Pikmin (Wii U), The Legend of Zelda (Wii U and Nintendo 3DS), Mario & Luigi (Nintendo 3DS) and Pokémon (Nintendo 3DS) franchises. These games, along with titles from Nintendo’s third-party publishing partners, will help drive hardware momentum and introduce new audiences to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms.

edit: Wow that is the perfect thumbnail.
I decided to revisist Ocarina of Time this week because there were some cool glitches, and also people keep telling me to do more Zelda games. So here’s another one! Enjoy, faithful NintendoEverything readers.

March 2013 NPD: rumored hardware sales
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
The NPD Group does not typically release hardware and software sales data for video games, which means we generally must rely on leaks and clues coming from official statements to piece together data.
In the case of the March 2013 report, we may have figures for almost all major platforms. A leak has allegedly sprung up on 2ch, and while we typically tend to be hesitant in sharing official information from that source, numbers listed on the message board do sound feasible.
The figures are as follows:
?3DS 230K?+1%? (nearly confirmed based on NPD analysis)
?Wii 91K??47%?
?Wii U 67K
?PS3 211K??36%?
?360 261K??30%?(official)
Assuming the data above is correct, that would mean the DS sold 86,000 units, the PS Vita moved 33,000 units, and the PSP tacked on another 8,000 units.
Pandora’s Tower has a game-freezing bug, but there is a solution
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Players who just purchased the newly-released Pandora’s Tower should be aware of a game-freezing bug. Destructoid came across the issue, but also posted an unofficial solution.
You can find the full rundown of bug in Pandora’s Tower along with the solution below.
THE BUG:
After Tower 13 opens, you’ll be unable to return to Towers 11 or 12. When you choose either level from the stage select menu, the game will lock up at the loading screen and you will have to hold the power button on the console to force shutdown. The game will also freeze if you try to enter 11 or 12 from the side doors at the base of Tower 13 rather than from the stage select menu.
